Fall Pictures

This past weekend (while Benjamin was away with the Scouts, camping) we went up on the Blue Ridge Parkway to see the Fall Colors.  They are gorgeous!  I thought I'd share some pictures:

Wacky Hair Day

Our county School System sponsors a fund raiser for Eblen Charities every October. To make it a little fun, my children's elementary school has a "Wacky Hair Day" at the first of the month to encourage donations for the fundraiser. All the children that bring in money that day get to wear their hair any wacky way they want. So Jessica and Joshua wanted to go all out and spray their hair this year. So here are the results:

And Back:

They had a lot of fun!  Now, though, can anyone tell me the trick to getting the spray out?  They've both washed their hair already, and they STILL have green in their hair! :P  (Hee, Hee! What a hoot!)
